History

Until 1900, the dead of the Jewish community of Grötzingen were buried at Obergrombach Jewish Cemetery northeast of Karlsruhe.[1][2] The Jewish cemetery of Grötzingen was built in 1905–6 on Junghälden field[1] on Werrabronner Straße. It is now surrounded by modern buildings.[1]

The cemetery stretches on a 0.18 acres area and has 13 graves,[1] the oldest datable one being from 1905.[2]

The ground of the cemetery is fully covered with screed.

gollark: This is perfectly valid Haskell.
gollark: ```haskell(....) :: ((a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> c) -> (((a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> a1 -> b) -> (a2 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> a2 -> c(....) = ((.) .)<$> (*>) (. (.)) (<*>) . ((.) >>= (. ((.) . (.)))) . ((>>) >> (<$>))```Another pointless combinator.
gollark: Because it's useful to nobody?
gollark: And since the definition is entirely free of points ("pointless") it must be good.
gollark: `...` is clearly a very useful combinator, as you can see.
